Online dating can be disappointing. As someone else mentioned I think meetup.com would be a TAD better than online dating. For me being female, most of the men I met on online dating were interested in sex. I had some relationships, but a lot of the dates I had were like:
Guy: Sex?
Me: How about we go out some more first?
-never hears from him again-
Guy: Sex?
Me: Sure!
-after sex-
Guy: I don't think we are on the same page/ I don't want a relationship type comment. -back to online dating-
Online dating increases the frequency of meetings, so it also increases the frequency of meeting jerky people. If I online dated, I could have a new date every week or so, new people, new personalities, new ways to be disappointed. Regular in person dating my options are more limited, so it is spaced out with more long term encounters.
